Angel Reese turns criticism into fuel and breaks a historic WNBA record
And while her team continues to struggle (Sky sits at 5–12), she keeps racking up individual accolades that cement her as one of the most dominant paint presences in the game.
“Mebounds”: from viral mockery to personal movement
But what makes this achievement even more intriguing is the backstory behind her now-iconic nickname, mebounds.
Originally coined as a jab at her playing style, frequently grabbing her own rebounds after missed layups, Angel Reese has embraced the term with a mix of irony and business savvy.
The 23-year-old has already filed to trademark “mebounds,” with plans to launch a clothing line featuring t-shirts, hoodies, and caps. In her own words: “A brand? That’s six figures right there.”
Angel Reese is turning trolling into strategy, and mockery into income.
During this historic run, she has averaged more rebounds than points in multiple games, but her impact remains unmatched.
With 13.1 rebounds per game, she leads the WNBA and is gearing up for her second All-Star appearance, even if only as a reserve. Her presence, however, is undeniable.
The future of the WNBA?
Beyond the stats, Angel Reese is setting trends on and off the court.
Her ability to control her narrative, own the criticism, and spin it into entrepreneurial opportunity proves that her impact extends far beyond the boxscore.
The new queen of the boards? Maybe. A future sports legend? Without a doubt, Angel Reese is already paving that path.
